The first volume, Vol.01, includes four armored cores in a deformed design: LOADER 4, NIGHTFALL, STEEL HAZE, and MILK TOOTH. Each figure stands approximately 60mm tall and features removable head, core, arms, and legs parts, allowing users to swap components between units, replicating the game's assembly system. The regular edition will be available for general pre-order starting May 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM. A Premium Bandai exclusive 'Default Color Set' is also available, containing the same four units in a gray default color matching LOADER 4, along with all frames and weapon parts from the lineup. This set is priced at 6,600 yen (tax included) and is scheduled for shipment in September 2026. Each figure comes with one piece of chewing gum (soda flavor). The figures are made of PVC and ABS.","whyItMatters":"This product line brings the game's core customization mechanic into a physical collectible format, targeting both Armored Core fans and model kit enthusiasts with a low-cost entry point.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Assemble Collection Vol.01 figures are produced by Bandai Candy Division, the same team behind other candy toy lines. The four ACs included are all from the game's story: LOADER 4 is the player's starting mech, NIGHTFALL is a rival unit, STEEL HAZE belongs to the Redguns faction, and MILK TOOTH is a lightweight frame used by the RLF. Each figure is partially pre-assembled and partially painted, requiring minor assembly. The Premium Bandai exclusive Default Color Set offers a uniform gray finish, making recombination play more visually cohesive, and includes all weapon parts from the regular release. The set costs 6,600 yen including tax, while the regular edition's price has not been specified.
